codrington-bika fight of the year?

[revs1227]

i agree 1st roudn roud of there year any other year this would be up there for fight of the year but 2007 was a great year in boxing ...both men showed amazing heart ..this is prolly the 3rd time including pavlik taylor calz kessler that im saying this "i take nothing away from either man both gave it there all and would love 2 see them again "....ppl always underestamated bika he gave calz a pretty good run the same calz that domintaed kessle n lacy

[Silencers]

It's a FOTY contender but I don't think it'll get FOTY honors. I got Marquez vs Vazquez 2 and Pavlik vs Taylor ahead of this fight.

But it was definitely a very good action fight. Both fighters showed their heart in round one which was amazing.

Revs....all Bika did with Calzaghe was go the distance. The scores were 117-110 if I recall.

This was a much better fight than either Pavlik/Taylor or Cotto/Judah. WOW. I still have Marquez/Vazquez, but this was absolutely amazing. Only the names and importance of the other two keep them elevated.

I'd say the fight was better than Cotto-Judah. But I don't think it was better than Pavlik-Taylor, and certainly not MUCH better. Codrington-Bika was more action-packed, but all things considered, Pavlik-Taylor was the better fight. An undefeated challenger coming off the canvas to knock out the undefeated champion and take his undisputed title in the process? That's a thing of beauty.

Marquez-Vazquez II may trump them both though.

If your looking for the highest level of boxings fight of the year its Vazquez/Marquez.

If your talking straight entertainment (still a high level, it was no club fight) it was tonight's Bika/Codrington. In part because they are both bigger than Vazquez/Marquez and in another because of the winging hooks and punches both were throwing and landing. The people that I was with were like "damn, they want that money bad."

But it was depressing to see a bunch of cowards sucker punching each other (knicks/nuggets game last year) open sportscenter instead of a great slug-fest between two guys showing unbelievable heart.

Hw can you say that if you didn't WATCH THE FIGHT.

[Rane-Ex54]

yeah I have pav / taylor as fight of the year. Much more on the line, much more at stake. This was def what the contender needed though after grady brewer won it last year.

[Jim Jeffries]

Some guy that Calzaghe smoked last year (Bika) beating some other bum, who cares?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Absolutely not, especially when you factor in fights like Taylor/Pavlik, Marquez/Vazquez, Cotto/Judah, etc........Great fight though but it's pretty much impossible for it to be a FOTY candidate this year.

This was MUCH better than Judah/Cotto. For me.

Yeah I kept it on ESPN, and they are showing BB playing trying to throw hands, I turned that **** off. **** the mainstream Media, they can keep jerking off to pictures of Tiger Woods for all I care.
